Important Notice - Symantec (Norton) Product Update for Windows XP SP2 Update

I just ran across this posting by Symantec (Norton), so if you have Norton installed I highly recommend that you read this prior to installing Windows XP SP2:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...m&tpre=us&tdir

Could you please repost an updated link, the one you posted gives an error
message on the Symantec site.

Hi

That link is "superseded" by this one:

and

For Norton 2004 products:

After installing XP Service Pack 2, the message "Your computer might
be at risk . . . " appears
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...rc=con_web_nam


For Norton 2005 products:

I think Norton 2005 have a tamper proof setting as default, and this
cases the Security Center to not detect NAV 2005.

Symantec Security Alert appears after running LiveUpdate or installing
XP Service Pack 2

For Norton 2002/2003 products:

Will this be fixed?

Symantec is planning an update, which will be available by
LiveUpdate. The update allows the Windows Security Center to
correctly identify the status of your Norton 2002/2003 security
products and give you the option of configuring how Norton
security products and the Windows Security Center alerts you.

When the update is available, this page will be updated.

If you are not able to get the Security Center to recognise Norton
fully:

Control Panel/Security Center, click on the "Change the Way
Security Center Notifies Me" link in the left pane.
